Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is to create an easy and versatile apparatus for applying spacer elements on plates. The apparatus is controlled by simple pneumatic actuation means, which allow for a quick and easy preparation and application of the elements on the plate. This eliminates the need for special training and makes the process more efficient and cost-effective.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, said spacer elements have the function of preventing the plates from sticking to one another, which would then make them difficult to separate.
The described machinery, therefore, as well as being expensive and bulky, is extremely rigid in its operating modes, since it foresees the presence of a transportation line of the plates, production in vary big batches, and yet other constraints that substantially limit its scope of use.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]With reference to the attached FIG. 1, an apparatus for the application of spacer elements 2 on plates 3 according to the present invention is wholly indicated with 1.

[0036]The apparatus 1 is particularly, but not exclusively, recommended for the application of spacer elements 2 on plates 3 made from various materials, like for example glass, of different sizes and shapes and the surface of which must be kept intact.

[0037]The spacer elements 2 are formed from a band 4, for example of cork, or of any other material with equivalent characteristics, for example any yielding material.

[0038]The band 4 can have any width.

[0039]The band 4, on one of the two faces, possesses a layer of adhesive material, or, more preferably, a layer of material suitable for sticking to the surface of the plate 3 and such as to be able to be removed, easily and with a simple manual gesture, without leaving marks on the plate 3.

[0040]The apparatus 1 according to the invention comprises a support frame 5...

Abstract

Apparatus for the application of spacer elements on plates, including means for feeding the spacer elements in the form of a band, at least one member for cutting the band and for applying the spacer elements, formed by the cutting, on a plate.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns an apparatus for the application of spacer elements onto plates.[0002]More specifically, the present invention concerns an apparatus for the application of spacer elements on plates, to allow them to be stored and / or transported in packs, piles, and the like.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0003]Machinery used in the manufacturing of plates, which are intended for the glazing field, are known that, at the end of the production line, take care of applying onto the surface of the plates themselves spacer elements, in a certain number and in certain positions, which vary in relation to the size of the plates themselves.[0004]Such spacer elements, for example made from cork or other materials, generally have the function of protecting the plates, and in particular they prevent the plates themselves, once positioned on top of one another in packs or in piles that are optimal for transportation, from being in direct contact ri...
